The self-destruction of Raila Odinga: Agwambo attempts a hara-kiri in public:
----Ere Otieno Consigliere ma Jarongo ohos wi gini Kingi?Earlier on,
Jaduong’ Otieno Dalmas Yo, I asked you to babysit this great process somehow. The process of
transition within Luo nationalism to the post Raila era. That is that you should assume the role of a
jang’ad-rieko ni Jopiny, a self-appointed historical
consigliere, giving yourself a run for all your brains worth in this process which is turning messy!
Transitions, called
joints in the physical world of mechanics, are usually the weak link in a chain: Where bone meets muscle; where bone meets bone; where iron is joined to zinc; where wood is joined to metal; when one King dies, and another must arise; when a new republic emerges out of the ruins of the defunct. Transitions, in power continuities, especially after a long reign of a dominant figure, a kind of
Ramses II, tends to be an inevitable downward turn. –O what a hangover!
It risks being a period of confusion, bewilderment, adventurism of the new kids on the block jostling for upkeep; and it risks being a time of susceptibility to external manipulation. Remember when the Soviet Union collapsed and the buffoon
Boris Yeltsin came to power, Russia was taken over by predatory oligarchs who stripped her and her people bare, setting the stage for the ruthless and authoritarian emergence of the law and order man,
Vladimir Putin. And remember the genius of Nelson
Mandela lies in the way he managed two transitions, from the apartheid regime of the insane Whitemen to a dreaded black majority rule; and, later, his own early and voluntary exit from the zenith, smoothly handling the tense stand off between the pro
Mbeki and the pro
Ramaphosa factions. Of course Foolhardy
Govan Mbeki would later nearly split the party in his bid to thwart Jacob Zuma’s ascension. But that is the story of most transitions, turmoil.
Transitions! O Otieno! Transitions!
En kar nyanyodhagombo ma nyarundandiga! (a sucking perilous centrifugal orifice)
Yeah, botched transitions! they are a guaranteed recession with a high probability of a depression. And I started calling you king wheeler and dealer with dark, cheeky purpose in the offing. Your brief as a
Nestor or a
Solomon as the biblical metaphor goes, is to Midwife the painful transition which
Jokanyarnam can not now avoid.
Consider the import of the documented reports, that a think-tank of
Aladwa, Kajwang’, Ndolo and Ondiek/Ongoro, were the people who organised the so-called
‘ukombozi wa chama’,
the
‘act of salvation’ we saw at
Kasarani starring the
Men In Black. This … act of salvation.. was the
clear thwarting in broad daylight –read that as live on TV—
of a transparent democratic process. And the party in question is the largest, most diverse in the republic, and the official opposition. But in terms of Their Excellencies the Govenors, the party is actually the government running the country through the counties!
At the same time,
Raila Odinga is a man of some
pretense to international stature, the kind of man often mentioned to take up mediation roles in conflict situations
involving unfair outcomes to fair elections! So he could be said to have a credibility face to keep; appearances that demand an element of domestic decorum! (yes, the kind of nationalist pride I have seen my community embrace in
Lupita's Oscar and
Barrack being the POTUS informs we we are susceptible to deep shame too! And Kasarani with its
josude maratenge ka dendgi [MIBs] fits the bill!]
Now,
wuon Anyango yo, you know and do remember the fateful
31 December 2007 at KICC when the GSU surrounded
Kivuitu wuo'Jokamba and co in the much televised …. Eh ..
stalemate!? ---what
characterisation did we give the episode?
Did we say
Ukombozi wa chi? Did we say
Salvation of the republic!? Koso we exploded at the injustice!?
Do we sing Mwai Kibaki Akhbar! Mwai Kibaki Akhbar! He Emilio saved the republic from the evil wind from the West!? Saved Kenya from the rule of the Fishy goons!?
(rotenge ma jochal gi sudegi!)Or do we have an alternative narrative? ---
Okuyuni Jakuo! Gini wang’etek le! Wadagi! O yeah, there was no vocabulary vile enough to describe the outrage perpetrated against
Agwambo, democracy and the people of Kenya! ---Correctly so!
A man of your intellect ---and please do not force me to qualify that word intellect with the prefix purpoted!--- gets the idea here. The standard we set for hypocrisy [or political stupidity] is Olympian!
A clique of Jaluos orbiting around Raila in a
mini copy cat action to the KICC horror, at Kasarani, and what is the vocabulary!? --An act of salvation! ‘ukombozi’! hmmm
The intellectual decomposition of the royal Luo political elite exhibited here, has reached a stage where, for the general health of our body politic, to avoid contamination with their regression, methinks their excision is imperative.
A linguist friend of mine is doing a paper on the
linguistic alienation of the Luo ruling class as a symptom of intellectual degeneration. He says propaganda and spin still dictate one stays close to the facts, only just bends them a bit. But madness is a disjointed verbal report, which really is amusing because it has no relation to the observed facts, but strangely, obeys some undisclosed pattern in the head of the mad person. So while we watched Raila trying to commit a public political
hara-kiri at Kasarani, his coterie of lunatics who have cordoned off his head from reality, report an ‘’ukombozi’’! Yawa! It is an evolutionary dead end. Curtains on the dominance of that species.
The tummy of the child has to be split, that the bead be retrieved. And brother bid brother bye. Back to back.First, not being much of a nationalist myself, keeping tab on the antics unfolding under comprador captaincy of Luo nationalism tends to be entertainment to me. Much like a schoolboy turn herdsboy in
Lambue valley during holidays may, to break the boring routine of a cowboy, amuse himself denoting the copulation rituals of the livestock he oversees. Nevertheless, when the comprador start lowering the ratings of the fishy brains we so proudly sport, and turn the whole Luo nation into a laughing stock, then something akin to an innate Luo pride stirs in my white matter. Nay, an irrelevant think-tank and adolescent hooligan club, motivated by individual existential fears, can not be allowed to fix the image of a whole community, and set the tone of their political agenda anyhow.
I will assume the
boycott by you
Dalmas Otieno, amongst others, ---Evans
Kidero, James
Orengo, Jakoyo
Midiwo, Ken
Obura, Osele of Kasipul and
Netto of Ndhiwa, was because you, the
enlightened club, did not want to be associated with this rape of democracy in the name of
Jokanyarnam. That your boycott of Kasarani, was a statement of clear dissent,
dissociating yourselves from the political paganism (of mental rot) championed by pious priests of backwardness like Ndolo Aladwa and Otieno Kajwang’ ---your best man at that your last wedding!
It was impressive of
Jakoyo Midiwo, no less a thug himself, to break ranks with the primitive thuggery under the patronage of the
karsakov patient
Dr. Oburu, with whom only yesterday he had sought to keep Siaya politics within the family, rigging out
William Oduol.
Otieno
Dalmas gir Rongo Yo, we saw you people expending powerful intellect in useless mercenary action when you tried to rationalise and excuse the massive ODM rigging during the party primaries, and we sat back, waiting for the crunch. The pendulum would swing back, and we would find out if your minds were totally gone, or if you still had elements of honour, conscience and enough mental health to pass a sanity test.
Now the royal clique has hired thugs to disrupt party elections with the complicity of the waning King; is this the last straw, such that even the glib versatile tongue of
Otieno ‘Demosthenes’ wuod Rongo, twangs no more in honeyed tones in support of the King?
Yawa! I saw
Outa of Nyando –the one who organised the burning of the
Miguna effigy, saying
Jakoyo Midiwo is a
Jubilee consort nowadays
! But
Owallo’s quitting note was saying …. Hahaha!
When even now Jakoyo is a Jubilee mole,
